Arrrgh! This book about pirates is not about the jolly idea of “it’s a pirates life for me. Ho, Ho.” Through poetry and realistic paintings David Harrison and Dan Burr give the true version of a pirate’s life. The life of long days at sea, filth and disease, little money, and harsh treatment for breaking the pirate rules are portrayed. As the first verse of Harrison’s poem “Ship’s Rules” says, “You’ve joined the Pirate Brotherhood, let no man here forget it. If you do, I promise you you’ll live—if you live—to regret it.”
